OTOH, do we REALY need a tech-assist section? It seems to me that this is just too far from the purpose of SFFw. I know that when I need tech help I just go to any of the hundreds of techie forums. Within two minutes I can usually find two or three forums dedicated to my specific questions. I register, and ask my question, often I get a response within two or three hours, and almost always it is spot on-perfect...

However, just posting a quick querey here could work, but I don't think this 'expert' rating system is pertinent here. But it can be a way for members to go to PM's. IE... I post a problem, and if a member can help, we can go to PM's to sort it, then maybe post the way it was fixed on the forum.

Why PM?... it will avoid others adding to the pot, and maybe confusing the issue. A member could ask how to format his hard drive... one will tell him the Format command, another will swear FDisk is the way to do it. Don't laugh... I have seen this said.

Originally posted by kater would it be worth changing the Games section to Games and Technology, I'm not sure one thread would be enough for all the various technological and Microsoft problems that people encounter plus any number of people are likely to be asking questions before the last one was answered,

That's a good idea mate, especially as a new member has just posted a thread asking about a decent gaming computer.
I'm sure one of the Mods could alter the section slightly and pool all the relevant threads into it so people could post query threads there.

I just want to re-interate that it would be more of a general advice thread secrtion, not a qualified, technical help desk.

Anyway, not that I'm a stalker or anything like that, I'm just a dork; I did a little search. The number is right as of RIGHT NOW. You indeed have a total of 15 posts. CLICK THIS TEXT TO SEE ALL YOUR POSTS. That might work, but then again after a few days the link will probably die...

By the way, everytime you update your Title Block information, so for instance if you change your location to some lyrics, the changes will take place on all posts you have ever made... So when you put up an avatar and come back to this thread you will see your avatar here too. (Avatar=that little picture under your name)... I could go into why and how the forum software works, but it'd just bore you.

So am I the only one that uses this thread?

Okay, got a legit question here...

I browse the forums by "viewing posts since last visit"

I just noticed that some of the folders, the little icon to the far left of the title of each thread, some of the folders have Eyebrows. I see from the descriptor that the folders with eyebrows are Hot Folders, but I was wondering what paramaters deem said folders "Hot"?

Examples:

Standard folder ->

Hot Folder ->

Look I posted in this Hot Folder! ->

So from what I can tell, the eyebrows don't tie into views, or number of replies. Or is it Magic?

Those are the ones that have been visited by Kaz, duh! No, seriously, those are the ones that have been viewed more than 15 times since you last visited. Just go into a forum then go to the very bottom, all is explained.
